Why audience support matters for independent audio journalism
Producing longer, higher-quality episodes requires time and resources. Supporter-funded models let podcasts experiment with formats, invest in research, and pay contributors fairly. When listeners choose to back a show, they enable more ambitious episodes — like this extended spiked podcast installment — that deepen public conversation.
